SUSTAINABILITY IN FLORISTRY IS MORE THAN A TREND; IT'S A COMMITMENT TO PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT WHILE CREATING BEAUTY. AT GIA STUDIO, WE PRIORITIZE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AT EVERY STEP OF OUR PROCESS. FROM SOURCING LOCALLY GROWN BLOOMS TO USING ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING WHERE POSSIBLE, WE STRIVE TO MINIMIZE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. BY EMBRACING SUSTAINABLE FLORISTRY, WE NOT ONLY CREATE STUNNING ARRANGEMENTS BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO A GREENER PLANET FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ENJOY.
OUR COMMITMENT
FLORAL FOAM FREE
We're aware of the negative environmental impact associated with traditional floral foam. Despite being a longstanding industry standard, floral foam contains harmful chemicals and microplastics that pose risks to wildlife and contribute to landfill waste. By embracing foam-free floral solutions and utilizing water vessels, chicken wire, and alternative agar wool, we're prioritizing sustainability and minimizing our ecological footprint. Through creative techniques and eco-friendly alternatives, we craft beautiful arrangements that not only look stunning but also align with our commitment to environmental responsibility.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
COMPOSTABLE BAGS
Our bag used to contain the wet towels are made from biodegradable materials, mainly corn starch and PBAT. These will completely break down within 90-120 days in a home-compostable environment. In addition, we also use PollastiTM mailers made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic pollution. Pollastic mailers are not compostable but should be recycled with soft plastics.
OUR DUTY
BIODEGRADABLE WRAPS
Our wet towels wrapped around the stems to keep your flowers fresh during delivery are made from spruce and pine grown in regenerated forests. They will break down completely in compost and are great to re-use as weed matting!
OUR plannet
PACKAGING
We choose recyclable kraft paper and tissue paper to wrap our bouquets. Our cards are 100% sustainable, FSC certified, made in a process that is chlorine-free, and manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled content.
